Bearish for the 10-year Treasury
Warsh Nomination Hawkish Fed Bets
Stable
Steady attention in US 10-Year Bond coverage, without a clear trend.
Updated 14 October 2026
The bearish argument: Sources characterize the nomination of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair as supportive for an independent central bank focused on low inflation, which would require maintaining higher rates and resisting political pressure for cuts, thereby keeping Treasury yields elevated. His Jackson Hole speech is cited as having created more severe bond market disruption than the 2013 Taper Tantrum, signaling market expectations for a more hawkish policy regime.
